I expect a weird deal like a three-way trade to get the twins a right-handed corner bat. Not a significant acquisition, but at least something serviceable. I expected a left-handed and relief picture, since we really didn't have one
I'm a teacher. Zoll's comments remind me of every failing student who has promised that he will start doing his homework and studying for tests. It sounds like a good plan, but I'll believe it when I see it.
I think we need to dial back the criticism of Larnach. He is fighting for a job on MLB 26-man roster. Joey Gallo's production must be replaced by somebody!
I have coached athletes that have had the Plica surgery. Pretty straightforward stuff. Pretty high success rate with alleviating patellar pain. What that means for buck? I guess we'll find out.
I didn't catch which WAR you were using, but John Pacella needs to be recognized for his -1.8 bWAR in 21 games in 1982. That's quite an accomplishment.
If the Pagan 2 year/$16M contract is any indication of what the reliever market looks like this off-season, don't expect a Twins bullpen move of any significance.
If Buck could give the Twins even a half season in CF - say 80 games, playing 3 times a week. Plus another 20 or 30 games at DH. Imagine how much that would change the complexion of team.
